(OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS/ADVICE & OPINIONS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY GOOD SHOPS IN THE ORANGE COUNTY,CA. AREA OR INTERNET THAT MIGHT CARRY MY 'NEAR FUTURE MODS AT A GREAT PRICE. I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN REPLICA BBS GT4 WHEELS, AS FOR RECENTLY IVE SEEN A FEW VERY DECENT PAIRS)

I'd say do not 'smoke' the side markers. paint them body colored. also, a 7000k bulb is not even close to yellow in color - it's quite blue. you want a 3000k color to be in the yellow range.

I found a shop near home by the name of EUROPEAN AUTO SOURCE. My OEM side markers were a nasty yellow once i picked it up from the dealer and this is all that EAS had on hand. Looking into color matching though.

As for the FOG BULBS, they are actually GP THUNDER 3500K GOLD. My mistake.

Congrats! Nice ride. Few simple mods really make the car look alot better. If your not thinking of doing full led AE, you can't go wrong with $15 bulbs. Gp thunder ftw. Lux isn't worth it IMO and if you want lux, just spend another 250$ and get full rings

Congrats on the ride! EAS is great for everything, especially if you're in the YL area. LTMW in El Monte is also a great shop for custom work. Look them up. Many people in our area frequent those two shops. Best of luck!

So, slowly but surely I am seeing some progression in my new car. Today I did the following to my 2008 335i:

- Paint Matched Side Markers
- Trunk Paint Matched Spoiler
- Black Chrome Exhaust Tips ( Until I mod full exhaust. Not too sure if I'm feelin' this though )
- ESM GUN METAL BBS LM REPS 19"X8.5" +35 Front 19"X9.5" +40 (Have not mounted these yet due to NO TIRES) *Please let me know what size tires i should get for this staggered fitment. I want somewhat of a stretch to the tires but nothing too aggressive.
